The body of Kenneth E. Huggins, 46, of 4110 Suitland Road, in Suitland, Maryland was located near Dyke Marsh about a mile south of the Belle Haven Marina.

Huggins went missing Saturday around 11:46 a.m. while kayaking with a 19 year-old man on the river. Multiple jurisdictions responded and coordinated a search for over eight hours. The search was suspended at 8:30 p.m. Saturday night due to diminished daylight and was resumed Sunday at 7 a.m.

The circumstances of the incident remain under investigation.
